Travel & Carpooling
Travel Note
YOU MUST CARPOOL!
Our venue has a VERY limited number of parking spots, meaning that you MUST carpool with at least 4 people per car! We will not be able to have everyone in attendance if this does not happen! There are no exceptions! With carpooling being necessary, everyone must have a responsible Designated Driver who is comfortable with mountain driving. Uber and Lyft are NOT available in Idaho Springs.
Travel Note
minimal service at the venue
North Star Gatherings is nestled in the Rocky Mountains meaning there is not much service. Verizon is known to be best, but still spotty. We are excited to gather together with minimal technology involved :)
Flight
Denver International Airport
DIA is the closest airport to Golden (where we recommend staying). It is about 40 minutes away from Golden, and 1 hour and 15 minutes from the venue.
Train
Denver Airport Rail
If you are not interested in renting a car, there is a train from DIA to Union Station (downtown Denver) that is available. From there, the best option is to take the W Line Tram to Golden.
Hotel
Courtyard by Marriott Denver Golden/Red Rocks
Golden, CO 80401
This is where the family & bridal party will be staying. We recommend you stay here too! It is about 40 minutes away from the venue. We have created a hotel room block for guests, you can find the link under the "View" tab below!
Hotel
Origin Hotel Red Rocks
Golden, CO 80401
This is another fun hotel in Golden- it is close to Red Rocks Amphitheater if you plan on going to a concert there! It is about 40 minutes away from the venue.
